Books like Stormbird by Conn Iggulden
Henry VI, a pious and gentle monarch, reaches his majority in 1437 and assumes the English throne after a prolonged regency. His fragile health and limited mental strength make him reliant on trusted advisers—spymaster Derry Brewer and William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk—to administer the realm. Meanwhile, Plantagenet Richard, Duke of York, argues that England requires a physically robust king to survive. With English territories in France under peril and rumors of domestic revolt, the country's stability hangs in the balance. A clandestine arrangement between Henry and the young French noblewoman Margaret of Anjou adds another layer of intrigue. As hostile forces gather abroad and mutiny looms at home, the future of England depends on those who can steer the kingdom toward salvation.
